Since I saw a mechanical watch for the first time I wondered: How do they work? Why does it tick and why is it ticking with a constant frequency? And why is there this thing, which keeps tilting from one side to the other? To answer my…
I decided to convert TheGoofy's excellent clock ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:328569 ) to one using a dual ulysse escapement. Designed by Ludwig Oeschlin, it is a modern take on Breguet's natural escapement. The promised gain in…
In Action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij9UewAz\_rA The Mechanism: The title of this design (almost long enough to be a Lina Wertmuller film) pretty much says everything one needs to know. It uses an independent wheel (the rotation of…
Since I saw a mechanical watch for the first time I wondered: How do they work? Why does it tick and why is it ticking with a constant frequency? And why is there this thing, which keeps tilting from one side to the other? To answer my…
The remontoir gravity escapement mechanism Youtube video While developing a clock and researching methods to achieve a stable, constant‑force drive—similar to the solutions used in high‑precision mechanical timepieces—I designed this…
This is a remix of LarkysPrints "Watch Escapement Desk Toy" ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3364860 ) where the holes and hex cutouts have been enlarged to accept #8-32 US Machine Screws (approximately 4.2mm in diameter). This might…
Update 2: 8/2/2022: Success! I no longer consider this effort a work in progress. This design can really work great once you get it assembled and know what to do to get it running excellent. It is very satisfying to watch it start itself…
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock. What lies between the beats of time? Rythme. Satisfying to build, watch and listen. I was having a lot of trouble seeing the proper angles for designing a deadbeat escapement from scratch, so I started to…
Disclaimer This is a work in progress and iterative testing is done to facilitate the design improvements to get a perfectly working escapement. Test Results and Revision History V11 - 7 July 2024 Sadly, the first test attempt(v11)…
I have completely reworked all parts, and included a small rotating dial. The parts were printed on my Sidewinder X1. All parts are made of PLA Bed temperature 60° Print temperature 200 The watch works fine. The 2 sliding blocks can be…
This is an update of downeym's Escapement Spring modification that is designed for printing with more flexible ABS. I found that the existing one was too floppy when not printed with PLA, so I thickened the spring section 2mm. Print…
Designed as a science fair project for the grandkids, this model can be used as just a 3D printed runaway escapement spring motor demonstrator, or with the additional drive components, a 3D printed runaway escapement spring motor car. The…
Escapement Mechanism in the Graham aka Deadbeat style
SUMMARY/DESCRIPTION: I've always enjoyed the sound of old wall clocks, and decided it would be a great challenge to design and create my own device that mimics the sound while also working as a small desktop fidget toy. I'm not a…
Origin I made this model to use in watchmaking courses to explain the function of the escapement. It is modeled after the escapement in the movement Zweigesicht-1 from Marco Lang. Marco Lang provides the CAD for the movement on his…
Simple mechanical escapement mechanism
It requires some lubrication. I attached the FreeCAD file and the thesis I used to calculate the escapement (WAYNE RUSSELL MUNDY: The analysis of runaway escapement utilised in clockwork mechanisms). Assembly
This is a clock escapement system I designed since I was bored. It is not the best and is a little hard to get going, but is an easy to understand and a quick print for those who want to learn, teach, or want to built of of it. It does…
This is the test jig I used to verify functionality of the dual ulysse escapement used in a clock design. Now it's a desk toy. In addition to the parts uploaded here, one would require the following parts found with the clock (…
Assembly of the model is the same as the original model. I added some pdf drawings to illustrate the assembly of the model. The model utilizes seven 608 RS skateboard type ball bearings. Printing the axel's on its sides makes them stronger.
Link to the watch: Watch Escapement Desk Toy by LarkysPrints - Thingiverse
This escapement is based on technical data from the book “Watchmaking” by George Daniels so it's almost just like in a normal watch. Fusion 360 files are included for potential adjustments. In my opinion the project isn't difficult if you…
Added a socket for an M3 nylock nut. Use with an M3x12 bolt to hold the anchor loosely and securely.
Print at 0.2mm layer thickness; I've only tested this in PLA.
Escapement is the most technically ambitious of the three. A functional spring is built directly into the ring — printed in place, no assembly, no hardware. It's a showcase of what 3D printing can do that almost no other manufacturing…
Straps to pull the underside of the model inwards, improving runtime, and reducing friction between gears by not having them mashed together so hard. Replace the 16mm screws with 20mm. Watch escapment desk toy is this one:…
Ticking Turn Timer — a printable mechanical escapement Wind the knob one to two and a half turns, let go, and the bar on top starts rocking: tick — tick — tick , while the engraved arrow creeps back across the dial. When it stops, the…
A weight-driven skeleton clock with a Graham deadbeat escapement and a 1-second pendulum. Every wheel, the winding click and the dial are printed; the clock runs on plain 3 mm steel rods. Going train, module 1 involute: great wheel 96 →…
The GIF shows the real motion, computed by a contact simulation of the escapement and rendered frame by frame (slowed down about 4×): a desk-size skeleton clock movement that really goes TIC-TAC. A bag of coins (or M8 nuts) in a little…
This 3D printed anchor escapement mechanism is an engaging mechanical model that can be mounted on a wall. Designed with precision and functionality in mind, the mechanism is ideal for demonstrating basic clock mechanics or as a…
